…most of which are inappropriate in mixed company. Perhaps we can turn this thread into a game – caption this story. The Brevard County doctor who was arrested for groping a woman while dressed as Captain America with a burrito in his pants will not go to jail. Instead, Doctor Raymond Adamcik will take part […]

To our veterans. All of them. Throughout time. Wartime. Peacetime. These men and women choose, freely, to place their lives on the line for others. To protect us and our nation. And we should not limit this day or remembrance to military veterans, but expand it to all those of our countrymen and women who put their lives on the lines for us. Policemen. Firemen. Paramedics. Anyone who has selflessly sacrificed themselves and their lives for others.

This Memorial Day weekend, Chris Coons is congratulating the House for passing the bill that would eventually repeal DADT as well as congratulating Senator Ted Kaufmann for his YES vote on moving DADT Repeal out of the Senate Armed Services Committee. This is his statement in full:

They’re baaaacccckkkk! And, as the shamelessly honest plug states… This week’s episode gets off to a slow start, but is honestly pretty good. Give it a listen….IF YOU DARE!!

The U of D student known as Cpt Robespierre interviewed John Carney about a week ago on a wide range of topics and posted them up at dKos (go rec this) and his own blog. He notes that the topics are these:

There was no avoiding this. In fact, impeachment talk moved yesterday from Tea Party rallies to at least one Republican Member of the House, Darrell Issa. And Issa’s not an obscure backbencher; he’s the ranking Republican on Oversight and Government Reform, and he also sits on the Judiciary Committee. The incentives all run to impeachment, […]

Is this what we have become? The video at the link is very disturbing. It shows abject violence to dairy cows and calves. It made me sick to my stomach. In this day and age, I cannot fathom that there are people who could do this to a helpless animal. But yet, I know it […]

“While I support the suspension, we cannot rest until the plan to drill off of Delaware and the rest of the East Coast is abandoned completely, and the preservation of Delaware’s precious environment and our state’s economy that depends on it, is assured.”

It should not have taken this long. It led to frustration (rightly so). It made us wonder if President Obama should have become the socialist he is always wrongfully accused of being, and nationalized BP of North America and seized their assets so as to take over the operation. But the accusations of incompetence and ineptedness coming from the right and left don’t seem to be true from reading first hand accounts of what actually went into plugging the damn hole

Sister Margaret was a senior administrator of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix. A 27-year-old mother of four arrived late last year, in her third month of pregnancy. According to local news reports and accounts from the hospital and some of its staff members, the mother suffered from a serious complication called pulmonary hypertension. That created a high probability that the strain of continuing pregnancy would kill her. “In this tragic case, the treatment necessary to save the mother’s life required the termination of an 11-week pregnancy,” the hospital said in a statement.

Good Morning Delaware Liberals! You can mislead voters about your service in Vietnam and still win an election apparently, so long as your opponent is a whackjob drugged out wrestling executive. User fees for driver education? David Anderson makes sense? The Phillies losers of 4 straight? I am going to need some Irish in my coffee today.

Nothing lights up our tip line like Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart. Some of the tips cannot be substantiated, others seem outlandish, even for this commissioner’s office. A recent one says they themselves may have to contact the authorities to alert them of the rampant alleged fraud that is going on in her office, to which I say, great, please do so, for if the corruption is so rampant, and if you have evidence of it, then what are you waiting for. This is not to say that we aren’tkeeping an eyeon KWS. We havecovered the allegations against the on the Insurance Commissioner going all the way back to May of 2009. So it was with interest that I saw that an ethics complaint had been filed against her. But then I find out who filed it.

This was obvious to everyone but the GOP. Today, a new NBC/MSNBC/Telemundo poll shows a similar trend at the national level, where “Latinos, once a semi-swing group of voters, now have swung overwhelmingly for President Obama and the Democratic Party, and younger Hispanics are moving to the Democrats in even greater numbers.” For example, 68% […]

President George H.W. Bush Too Busy to Honor Tradition. President George W. Bush Too Busy to Honor Tradition. All of the above statements are headlines that Frank Knotts of Delaware Politics could have used in his latest screed, because they are as equally true as the headline he chose to use. Frank is upset that […]

One thousand new hires seems to be the new mantra of the Markell Administration in response the laying off of over 200 teachers in Delaware. Who can argue about the hiring of 1,000 new teachers? As a matter of fact, Delaware Dem even promotes the 1,000 new hires as an offset to the layoffs. But is it really an offset?
